What is a musculoskeletal radiologist?

A Musculoskeletal Radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and interpreting medical images of the bones, joints, muscles, and related soft tissues. They use imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound to detect injuries, diseases, and abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system. These specialists often work closely with orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and other healthcare providers to help guide treatment plans. Their expertise is vital in sports medicine, trauma, arthritis, and tumor evaluation. Musculoskeletal Radiologists may also perform image-guided procedures like joint injections or biopsies.

How do musculoskeletal radiologists typically collaborate with orthopedic surgeons and other specialists during patient care?

Musculoskeletal radiologists play a critical role in multidisciplinary teams by providing detailed imaging interpretations that guide orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and sports medicine physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning. Regular interactions include case discussions, participation in tumor boards, and offering real-time imaging guidance during interventional procedures. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as radiologists must convey complex findings clearly and may be consulted for urgent cases, especially in trauma or post-operative settings. This collaborative environment fosters continuous learning and contributes to improved patient outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a musculoskeletal radiologist, and why are they important?

A Musculoskeletal Radiologist must have in-depth knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy, pathology, and imaging interpretation, supported by a medical degree, radiology residency, and fellowship training in musculoskeletal imaging. Expertise in using advanced imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound, along with proficiency in PACS and RIS systems, is crucial. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help radiologists collaborate with referring physicians and ensure accurate diagnoses. Mastery of these skills is essential for delivering high-quality patient care and guiding appropriate treatment strategies.

Job description

Radiologists for Full-Time or Part-Time Positions

Emory University School of Medicine's Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is committed to fostering a culture that is healthy and sustainable, and a supportive environment for our people to thrive throughout their careers. The department has a strong commitment to faculty development and academic advancement.

The Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging is seeking Radiologists for full-time or part-time positions to join the expanding division of Musculoskeletal Imaging.

Emory's Musculoskeletal Division consists of 10 full and part-time faculty members who provide specialized MSK diagnostic and interventional services to several hospital and clinic sites including the Emory MSK Institute, Emory University Midtown Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital. Faculty are actively involved in strong intra- and interdepartmental research collaborations and are committed to educating our MSK fellows and residents (one of the largest programs in the country).

Diagnostic responsibilities include subspecialty interpretations of MSK MRI, CT, ultrasound and radiographs. Spine imaging interpretation is shared between neuroradiology and musculoskeletal radiology. We interpret imaging for many of the Atlanta-area professional and collegiate sports teams and commonly collaborate with our orthopedic surgeons including orthopedic oncology, non-operative sports medicine physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and rheumatologists. We participate in interdisciplinary conferences including sarcoma tumor board, peripheral nerve, rheumatology, and arthroscopic-imaging correlation conferences.

Experience in standard interventional MSK procedures is preferred, which include fluoroscopic/ultrasound guided joint injection/aspiration, CT and ultrasound guided biopsies, spine and peripheral nerve injections.

Additionally, fully remote options are available. These can be remote from anywhere in the USA except New Jersey, Hawaii, or Alaska.

Visa sponsorship is available for qualified applicants.

Compensation rates reflect newly updated and enhanced compensation rates effective 9/1/2026.

Minimum qualifications include:

  • Applicants must have completed a musculoskeletal fellowship at an accredited program.
  • Applicants must be ABR board-certified/eligible and be eligible to obtain an unrestricted Georgia medical license.
  • Faculty rank will be commensurate with experience and accomplishments.

This role will be granted the opportunity to work from home regularly but must be able to commute to Emory University on a flexible weekly schedule based upon business needs. Schedule is based on agreed upon guidelines of department. This role requires residency in the state of GA. Emory reserves the right to change remote work status with notice to employee.
